The Nasdaq was down more than 3% at one point today and is on track for its biggest weekly decline since April 2025. In the last 10 days, about $3 trillion has disappeared from the market. The Nasdaq is now only 2.5% away from entering a technical correction.
The market went up nicely for no reason, and the current decline follows the same pattern. There is concern about the rise of AI, news regarding Anthropic, concerns about the coronavirus, and issues with chip manufacturers in China. Companies reported excellent earnings, but concerns exist about the coronavirus and the funding and infrastructure behind it. Anthropic's valuation has dropped from $2 trillion to $1.5 trillion.
When the market falls, the only people who panic are those who are unprepared. Patterns usually repeat, but that doesn't mean they always do. The market is correcting due to panic, with significant attention on AI stocks. As AI technology develops and fear takes hold, AI stocks sell off faster than others.
Coreweave has not recovered from its high of 187 and remains a popular stock. It is at a previous support range and typically turns around eventually. NBIS had a fairly good sell-off, got oversold, and is now being considered for dip buying. Both stocks present trading opportunities, but traders should prepare as if they are wrong and understand the situation could get worse before it gets better.
Big companies are publishing earnings reports next week, and the market will react. The speaker is buying a few different companies carefully, knowing things could get worse before they get better. If the market turns around, long positions will be taken in both long-term and trading accounts. If support breaks, the plan is to endure the downturn.
Preparation involves not buying so much that losses cannot be afforded if things worsen, and keeping enough cash on hand to take advantage of opportunities. The weekend plan includes making a list of interesting stocks that may be oversold, discussing both their technical and fundamental aspects. These will not be stocks to buy blindly, but rather a discussion of risky and somewhat conservative stocks.
MSTR was removed from the MSCI index, which could make the stock worse off as funds tracking this index will be forced to sell approximately $3 billion worth of shares in the next few weeks. The speaker made $3,100 by shorting MSTR today but closed the position and does not hold overnight due to uncertainty about weekend announcements.
The weekend focus is on preparing and making a plan for which one to three stocks to invest in that represent good deals. The advice emphasizes not buying too much too soon, as this could harm the investor. The speaker will keep viewers updated and hopes to end the year with a profit. The upcoming week is more related to earnings reports than the CPI report.
